Over to Manchester, my dad died today, was awful, no words can truly sum up how I feel, was incredibly clumsy things falling out of my hands, it was funny that after my dad dying and being with the body for about 4 hours, I never felt so alive and yet so incredibly sad. Things you have to do like put his slippers into a plastic bag to take with us were just too painful for words

Back to the hall, we had bit of a late night/ drinking time, which was needed ever so much, wasn’t too late – don’t think I would have slept anyway
